This section provides a brief overview about working in IXIASOFT CCMS Desktop.
Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) provides a topic-oriented content architecture built on XML technologies.
Documents go through several phases of development. Topics, for example, are written, edited, and approved by technical experts, and then may be sent for translation. Each phase of document development has a unique set of people who are responsible for the document in that phase.
The Oxygen XML Editor is an intuitive interface with many powerful tools for working with XML documents.
Before you can modify a map, topic, image, or resource, you must lock it.
The Release command saves your latest modifications to the server and unlocks the file so other users can edit it. Document objects can only be released by the user who locked them.
The Clone command creates maps, topics, and images from existing ones.
Every document object in the repository has a set of properties that describe and identify it uniquely.
This procedure describes how to update the status of a document object in the document cycle.
The Delete command removes objects from the active area of the repository.
The Restore command lets you recover files that you may have inadvertently deleted.
